The Butterfly

The Butterfly

I'm giving you this butterfly

because of what it means;
the amazing thing
about butterflies
is the way
they get their wings;

See, butterflies start out
as very different things;
each one enduring hardships,
but to this hope
it clings;

One day it will become,
despite setbacks
from the start;
no longer a nothing creature~
but the love inside its heart;

If, by chance, you see one~
for that one brief moment pause,
and watch it floating by,
remembering this, because;

You too are like the butterfly,
having endured so many things,
making beauty out of heartache,
turning obstacles into wings;

You truly are a miracle
and I think that you should know~
It's not the things that happen,
but, how we learn to grow; because

In the end what makes us
beautiful and why~
is not the way we started,
but in how we learned to fly.
